November 4, 2023 - Unlike the previous one we opened, this one showed no adverse signs of age, and was perfectly delicious.

March 30, 2023 - Still very enjoyable, but the fruit in this bottle had a hint of aging, I thought, and I wonder if it's time to drink these up.

April 30, 2022 - Nice wine. Earth tone and dark fruit. Ready to drink. Does not need decant. Fruit does come out a bit more with time. Does not have much of a finish. Hard to beat for the price.

November 13, 2021 - The wine looks garnet colored. It smells like chocolate, almond, light toast, mineral and raisin. It tastes like stoniness and light toast. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium.
Perfect spice notes of clove and raisin. The multiple grapes come out and produce a nice flavor profile that stands on its own or pairs with lamb or cheese
